Greek Yogurt Cookie Dough Bites are a healthy, no-bake snack that combines thick Greek yogurt, almond flour, nut butter, and a touch of sweetness to create a protein-packed, guilt-free treat. These easy-to-make bites are perfect for a quick snack, featuring a doughy texture and mini chocolate chips for that classic cookie dough feel, with optional add-ins like protein powder and cinnamon for variety.

Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • ½ cup plain Greek yogurt (thick, not watery)
  • ½ cup almond flour (or oat flour as substitute)
  • 2 tablespoons peanut butter or almond butter
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup (can substitute honey)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt
  • 3 tablespoons mini chocolate chips

Optional Ingredients

  • 1 scoop vanilla protein powder
  • Dash of cinnamon
  • Coconut flakes for rolling

Instructions

  1. The Mix: In a mixing bowl, combine Greek yogurt, almond flour, nut butter, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Stir vigorously for about a minute. The mixture will look messy at first but will thicken and transform into a dough-like consistency.
  2. Chocolate Chip Time: Fold in the mini chocolate chips along with any optional ingredients like protein powder or cinnamon if using. Mix thoroughly to evenly distribute.
  3. The Freezer Trick: Place the bowl in the freezer for 15-20 minutes to firm up the dough. This step makes it easier to roll and handle without sticking.
  4. Roll Baby Roll: Using about a tablespoon of the dough, roll it between your palms to form balls around the size of a bouncy ball from a quarter machine. You should get roughly 12 balls from the batch.
  5. The Finishing Touch: Optionally, roll the balls in shredded coconut, crushed nuts, or cocoa powder to give them an attractive, flavorful coating.
  6. Storage: Store finished cookie dough bites in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days or freeze for up to 1 month. They are delicious both chilled and frozen.

Notes

  • If dough is too wet and sticky, add more almond flour a tablespoon at a time until it firms up.
  • If dough is too dry and crumbly, add Greek yogurt a teaspoon at a time until the right consistency is reached.
  • Adjust sweetness by adding more maple syrup or a few drops of liquid stevia if desired.
  • Variations include adding sprinkles for a birthday cake version, using all peanut butter plus peanut butter chips for a peanut butter cup flavor, or adding cinnamon and rolling in cinnamon sugar for a snickerdoodle effect.
